One Less Thing To Worry About

Our new social worker, whom had never even met us, showed up at our house yesterday with an hour's notice.  She visited with us briefly, got the info and answers she needed and made sure our home was ready for Sofie.  And that we weren't doing anything illegal, I'm sure!  Then she spent the rest of the evening writing up our homestudy update and a good portion of her morning going back and forth with a gal at our agency to make edits and corrections.  Finally, even though she was off and had family coming in to town, she ran out to get our copies notarized and met with us to hand them off.  Bless her heart!!!

The WC Client Relations coordinator at our agency spent her morning reviewing our update, responding promptly with corrections and gave our social worker the green light just before she left for the day.  They were only open until noon and we all know what half-days before a long holiday are like when you have to work.  Bless her heart!!!

I was a little confused about what exactly I needed to include with our immigration paperwork and really wanted to get it all sent off today, so I decided to e-mail our caseworker at the Hague Unit of Homeland Security in the hope she was working and would have time to respond, but was not expecting it.  She got back to me right away with answers to all of my questions and told me to keep them coming as long as I was still confused.  Bless her heart!!!

Getting this paperwork submitted has been a constant source of stress for the past 10 days.  It should have been ready to go the day we received our LSC.  With the help of these three very kind ladies, I was able to get everything copied and sent off to USCIS via FedEx this afternoon.  It will arrive first thing Friday morning.  Not only is it one less thing to worry about, but a reminder that there are some really good, caring people in this world who are willing to do whatever they can to help.  And for that, I am very thankful.
